On some very recent and quality advice from the clerks on my second reading amendment, I would like to withdraw that amendment out of concern that, depending on the behaviour of the House, it may actually kill the bill. I would certainly hope that the other place deals with the sentiments contained within it. Neither I nor the member for Denison at any stage would want to see the passage of this legislation disrupted.

Amendment—by leave—withdrawn.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.
